SWAPPING DISINGENUOUS COMMENTS IS NOT MY PURPOSE HERE. IF I COMMENT IT'S SIMPLY BECAUSE I LIKE YOUR WORK
Hello Model Mayhem,
I'm Ryo
(pronounced Ree-yuh):
Who am I: Emerging fashion designer, creative director, editor and stylist from Kingston.
As a stylist, I prefer to do so for fashion editorials be it online or print. I like telling stories through my work therefore, I focus a lot on characterization, mood, themes and trends. A good editorial for me is one that is well planned, has a central theme and results in some strong images. I'm influenced by detail, texture, lines, angles, proportion and shapes and I try as much as possible to reflect this in my work. My trademark is producing work that is rich in detail but remains simple and honest. I dislike anything contrived or pretentious. My other unique style is that I like to juxtapose opposites. Austere tailored pieces matched with loose fluid shapes, modern with classic pieces, masculine with the feminine - a style most persons are unable to achieve but I make it work. My personal style in itself is quite fashionable - a classic sensibility mixed with an urban quirkiness.
Looking for: Models - I prefer girls who are slender built, 5'9" or taller. So right now while I'm building my portfolio and my network of contacts, I'm only interested in working with girls/models who are represented by an agency or look like they can be agency represented. I may however make exceptions for those having a striking face or body (for beauty or parts stories).
Photographers - Photographers with strong fashion knowledge and aesthetic. I am not interested in doing glamour or fetish.
I'm also interested in meeting and NETWORKING with other
*fashion stylists, *fashion agents, makeup artists, retouchers and magazine editors.
**Please note the stress on FASHION
Compensation: I'm open to both paid and unpaid work at this time, however creative tests and/or collaborative efforts (TFPs, TFCDs, etc.) will only be considered if they are serious and can prove mutually beneficial.
So if you like what you see from the "Stylin' one" don't be afraid to send me a message. Let the takeover begin!
Kingston, Jamaica
*My TOP FRIENDS include those persons with whom I have already shared a working relationship, those I hope to work with, or those whose profile pictures I like
